[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 16373, member: 586"] [b]Ride or Invest[/b] A couple of observations. The numbers stamped on the bike have to be "cleanest" & sharpest numbers I have ever seen on a Vincent. Nothing implied but all numbers & letters appear to be the same style, font & size. The description mentions 15/32" GP carbs but I assume that should be 1 5/32nd ... There is debate here in Australia whether prices are coming down but recent sales of incomplete bikes or bikes needing refurbishment seem to indicate it is at least steady. $50,000 for a bike that has not run for (at least) 30 years would easily become $60,000 for a nice tidy & reliable machine. Then again, a "D" Shadow (running & tidy) just sold for $53,000 which I think is good value. People are putting money back into art so why not gilt edged bikes? [/QUOTE]
